"What about your husband, how can he rest assured that you go out alone?"

"husband……"

She pondered for a moment.

"I do not remember."

She looked at Granny Yin, wanting to find an answer.

"You know who my husband is, don't you?"

Grandma Yin shook her head.

"I've seen it, but I'm not familiar with it."

"Then do you know where my home is?"

"do not know."

She was a little disappointed when she couldn't get the answer she wanted.

"Then if I can't remember it all the time, will I not be able to go home?"

Granny Yin looked at the sky and only said: "Everything has its definite order."

In the following days, Huangfu Liyue's life returned to peace.

During the day, she helps Granny Yin grow vegetables, water flowers, and do handwork, and she lives a very leisurely life.

Her mind calmed down, and the number of her headache attacks gradually decreased.

However, as the headaches subsided, her memory became more and more blurred.

Gradually, she couldn't even remember her own name, but deep down in her heart, she knew that she still had a home.

Far away, there are family members waiting for her.

In her spare time, she would go around the town asking for ways to contact the outside world.

The result that can be obtained is that people in the town never go out and do not communicate with people outside. The only way to leave is by boat, but two months ago, the only boat in the town was smashed by the boatman. It was a case happened here a few months ago, and the victims were all foreigners.

This incident had a great impact on the ancient town. In order to avoid similar incidents, the people in the town unanimously decided not to cross people to the ancient town.

Foreigners who want to enter the ancient town have to cross by themselves.

As a result, Huangfu Liyue's hope of going home was also shattered.

When homesick, she would always come to the ancient town isolated from the outside world, staring at the boundless mountains, rivers and lakes in a daze.

Although she couldn't remember the way home, Granny Yin told her that she had a husband and a child...

-

Two years later.

reunion festival.

Huangfu Liyue set up a stool, and under the instructions of Granny Yin, hung two red lanterns at the door.

"Grandma, do you think this looks good?"

"nice."

Granny Yin still had the same indifferent tone, but there was a more approachable smile on the corner of her mouth.

Huangfu Liyue got down from the stool, inspected the hanging lanterns, and boasted: "This year the hangings are much more symmetrical than last year."

When she spoke, she clenched her hands tightly and rubbed her hands back and forth in the cold.

Granny Yin walked into the room, brought her a red cloak, and put it on her skillfully.

"This year's Reunion Festival is colder than usual, and you have always loved the excitement. Go to the Lantern Festival to join in the fun, so don't catch a cold."

She tightened her cloak, her body became warmer, and her smile became brighter.

"Mother-in-law, won't you go with me?"

"No."

Granny Yin looked at the long street full of red lanterns in front of her, and said again: "It's too cold, I don't want to go, you go early and come back early, I'll cook the glutinous rice balls and eat them when you come back."

"Okay~"

On the night of the Reunion Festival, families gather together to share glutinous rice balls, which is a custom in the ancient town.

Although Granny Yin had a cold temper, she seemed to regard Huangfu Liyue as her family.

So is Huangfu Liyue.

After saying hello to her mother-in-law, she set foot on the long street to join in the fun at the annual lantern festival.

Although it is night, the market is brightly lit, red lanterns are hung all over the eaves, and even the stone bridge is decorated.

Looking up, each frame is like an antique and shocking painting.

She was in it and couldn't help but sigh.

Standing on the stone bridge, she looked into the distance and couldn't help feeling a little lost.

Today is the reunion festival, and everyone who comes out to play is accompanied by family members, but she is alone.

Looking at the family passing by, her eyes were full of envy.

Having family members by your side is the meaning of the Reunion Festival.

She sighed secretly, thinking that her mother-in-law was still waiting for her at home, so she prepared to leave.

"Girl, today is the reunion festival, let's buy a Kongming lantern."

When she turned her head, she saw a peddler holding a few Kongming lanterns and looking at her with a smile on his face.

Seeing that she didn't intend to buy it, the vendor said, "I saw you sighing just now, there must be something on your mind. My Kongming lantern is very effective. Try it?"

She touched her pocket.

Insufficient funds...

"never mind……"

She was about to leave, but the peddler said, "My Kongming lanterns are only for predestined people, you just need to express your feelings."

She was happy.

Today's merchants really say anything in order to sell their goods.

She took out what money she had.

"That's all I have."

The peddler looked at the little money in her pitiful palm, and was heartbroken, so he handed it to her anyway.

"Thanks."

She smiled, took the Kongming lantern, closed her eyes and made a wish.

'Hopefully one day, I can see my family again. '

She opened her eyes, let go of the Kongming lantern, and watched it rise slowly.

The Kongming lantern gradually rose into the air, and her blocked vision gradually became clear.

A tall, thin and handsome man walked up the stone bridge and walked towards her step by step.

Seeing this familiar face, she was slightly startled, and her heart beat violently.

He stopped in front of her, watching her closely.

Although he didn't say a word, his secretly surging pupils seemed to have spoken a thousand words.

"Mommy, Daddy and I are here to take you home~"

The cloak was pulled, she looked down, and there was a girl doll carved in jade with two braids standing beside her legs.

Looking at her little face flushed red from the cold, Huangfu Liyue's memories suddenly flooded in like a flood.

"Liyue, we're going home."

Mu Jingchen stretched out his big hand with sharp bones in front of her.

Even though the tone was extremely restrained, there was still a slight vibrato when listening carefully.

She was a little stunned.

Because everything is so unreal.

She stretched out her hand, was about to touch him, and stopped again.

In the past, she had dreamed of such a scene, but when she was about to follow him home, the dream would wake up.

This time, she wanted to prolong the dream.

She was about to withdraw her hand, but he grabbed it.

He held her in his arms and whispered in her ear: "I will never let you leave me again."

She froze in his arms, feeling the warmth of his body, and suddenly woke up.

This is not a dream.

Her panic was swept away, followed by long-lost peace of mind and emotion.

"Daddy, Mommy, look, it's so beautiful!"

Mu Weiyang looked up at the sky, clapping her little hands excitedly.

Mu Jingchen and Huangfu Liyue looked up.

Thousands of Kongming lanterns rise high into the sky and merge with the night to compose a romantic painting of stars and Han.
